hyped garbage

Absolutely amazing

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

You can think of the successful or unsuccessful attempt of this movie from several different angles: firstly, it's a Stephen Chow work; secondly, it's a Hong Kong entertainment movie rather than Hollywood; thirdly, the filming Location of this movie is mainland China and the production company of this movie is Xi'an film studio which is a very powerhouse of Chinese culture along with Beijing. In the opening, this movie is absolutely unsuccessful no matter in any aspect. A few decades afterwards, there are more and more people discussing it from more and more viewpoints in China or IMDB. It has been a phenomena, same this movie itself is a tale...

This is one crazy movie, with martial arts monkeys, ladies who become giant spiders, and all sorts of devils and other supernatural characters wandering around causing trouble. It's fun, funny, and wacky.One interesting thing is that it's a movie full of strong women and weak men. You don't see that too often. True, love slows the women up, but outside of that they are tough as can be.I saw this movie with badly-done subtitles I downloaded off the Internet, so I was sometimes a little unclear as to what was going on, but the movie is such crazy fun that I barely minded.

This is the first of a two part movie series adapted from the classic Chinese novel,Journey To The West.I would consider this as the more comedic one,while the second is more action-packed,with a little sense of art-house in it(if you watch the two together it forms a perfect balance).In this movie,Stephen Chow's character had not yet transformed into the all invincible Monkey King,hence not much action here.It was also extremely loosely based on the novel,so fans of the book might not really like this.The comedy level in this movie is so extreme...you can't even stop laughing for a minute,so if necessary,watch it bit by bit to catch some breath.Watch this solely for the humor,and you'll see a masterpiece.Sing-yeh's best film of the nineties.Rate:****

This movie was about Chinese monkey god acted by Stephen Chow Sing Chi. other useless casts were Ng Man Tat and Karen Mok Man Wai. Athena Chu appeared a little and she was beautiful. But you got to really watch out for this very exotic super beautiful devil Spider woman played by Yammie Lam Kit Ying. She has a rose tattoo on her body. She went to the desert and kicks the bandit's entire butt. Her sister Karen Mok who falls in love with Monkey God betrayed her. When Yammie wanted to kill the Monkey God, they tricked her and almost crushed her neck. Another time she was tricked and accidentally has sex with the ugly Ng Man Tat. She was angry and she cried thinking `The world is unfair, I am as beautiful as flower, how can I got pregnant with this ugly man?'
